LG Display to Showcase Host of OLED Innovations for Large and Automotive Applications at K-Display 2024

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Display, the world's leading innovator of display technologies, will participate in K-Display 2024 at COEX in Seoul for three days from August 14 to unveil its differentiated OLED technology competitiveness.

Now in its 23rd year, K-Display 2024 is the largest specialized exhibition for the display industry in Korea, organized by the Korea Display Industry Association.

Under the slogan of "A Better Future," the company will introduce new OLED innovations that provide differentiated customer value with unique LG Display technologies, including large-sized OLEDs for TV and gaming applications as well as ultra-large automotive display solutions optimized for software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

Among its large-sized OLEDs, the company will showcase ultra-large OLED TV panels that push the boundaries of image quality along with a full lineup of Gaming OLED products that maximize immersion.

LG Display's 83-inch OLED TV panel is the brightest screen of its kind because it features META Technology 2.0, a new technology developed through 10 years of OLED evolution. It improves screen brightness, a key image quality factor, by approximately 42% compared to the previous generation and achieves a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits (1 nit is the brightness produced by a single candle).

META Technology 2.0 accomplishes this through a pattern of 42.4 billion micro lenses (based on a 77-inch display) known as MLA+, combined with its own META Multi Booster and Detail Enhancer algorithms. Together, they offer rich, true-to-nature colors and brightness levels that are as vivid and three-dimensional as those seen with the human eye.

LG Display will additionally showcase its comprehensive Gaming OLED lineup, including panels spanning 27, 31.5, 34, 39, and 45 inches.

Its Gaming OLED panels also apply META Technology 2.0, which enhances picture quality to deliver the optimal gaming experience with the fastest response time (0.03ms) of any panel on the market, a high refresh rate, and minimized "image reflection" to limit interference caused by objects around gamers being reflected on the screen during dark scenes.

The 31.5-inch Gaming OLED panel in particular has its own Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology, allowing users to freely choose between high-refresh-rate (FHD∙480Hz) and high-resolution (UHD∙240Hz) modes on a single display, depending on the content.

In addition, the 45-inch Gaming OLED, which applies the company's specialized Bendable OLED technology, allows the screen to bend up to a maximum curvature of 800R (the same degree of curve as a circle with a radius of 800mm), which is optimized for various gaming genres to enhance immersion.

LG Display will also unveil large-sized display solutions geared towards SDVs based on differentiated technologies such as OLED and low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) LCD.

Its 17-inch Advanced Thin OLED (ATO) for information display accentuates driving comfort by providing an instant grasp of various kinds of information on a large screen while enabling the easy operation of vehicle functions. ATO is 20% thinner than conventional OLED, facilitating a sleek design, ultra-high-definition image quality, and reasonable price range.

Meanwhile, the company's ultra-large, pillar-to-pillar LTPS LCD, which fills the dashboard, features Switchable Privacy Mode (SPM), a technology that allows the front passenger screen to be hidden from the driver's view when needed, for safer driving. The 57-inch panel, the largest automotive display available, has a natural curvature that enables users to view vehicle information at a glance. It is equipped with a unique, highly sensitive In-Cell Touch function to offer a superior touch experience.

Moreover, LG Display's 18-inch Slidable OLED for vehicles is normally hidden in the backseat ceiling when the screen is curled up, but it can slide down when users want to watch movies and news, hold video conference calls, and do more with a large screen.

The company will additionally introduce high-end IT LCDs. Its 27-inch IPS Black panel for monitors, with IPS (wide viewing angle) technology, offers both wide viewing angles and excellent color reproduction, while its 16-inch IPS gaming panel for laptops features a 240Hz ultra-high refresh rate and low power consumption.

"We will continue to introduce innovative products that can provide differentiated customer value in all aspects of image quality, design, and eco-friendliness with our own industry-leading OLED technologies," said an official from LG Display.

LG Display to Showcase Host of OLED Innovations for Large and Automotive Applications at K-Display 2024

Excel Dryer, Inc., and MetrixLab study shows customers may not return if restrooms are dirty

EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The pandemic changed the world forever. While wearing masks and social distancing are now optional, one critical habit remains: proper handwashing, which includes thorough drying. People are washing their hands at an unprecedented rate, and that puts the restroom experience under more intense scrutiny than ever before.

"Washing your hands has always been important, as shown by the CDC mantra, 'Clean hands save lives.'" said William Gagnon, COO, Excel Dryer. "The pandemic reminded the world of the importance of proper hand hygiene. There is also a keen focus on restrooms and how a person's experience in them can directly affect a company's reputation and its bottom line."

This is why Excel Dryer, Inc., a leader in touchless hand drying technology, combined forces with MetrixLab, a renowned, worldwide market research firm, to conduct a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind global survey called Post Pandemic Perceptions of Commercial Restrooms. The goal was to find out how architects, design professionals, business owners, facility managers and consumers feel about commercial restrooms in the post-pandemic world. The survey engaged more than 4,000 participants in the United States, Europe and Asia, aiming to capture shifts in perception and preferences regarding commercial restrooms.

No matter who you are or where you live, the results were clear:

Consumers agree a dirty restroom reflects poor management, while architects, restaurant owners and facility managers around the world find the cleanliness of a commercial restroom reflects the extent to which a business values its customers and employees.

"Excel Dryer's complete line of touchless, high-efficiency hand dryers addresses the very problem this survey highlights: when people see paper towels on a restroom floor, it looks dirty and 'feels' dirty. Our hand dryers are not only more hygienic, they also help facilities save time, money and the environment," said Gagnon. "If you're still using paper towels, this survey shows it's time to make a change."
